I live in Edmonton (Alberta) and I noticed yesterday that the Lewiscraft wasn't where it used to be. I found it a couple of spots down in the area that always has the closing out sales. Unfortunately I know the one in my area is closing. I don't know about any of the other locations in Edmonton or the rest of Canada though.

i work in a mall that had a lewiscraft and apparently they have closed 10 stores across canada! it does suck! there aren't many places in my town to buy crafty things at. oh well, what are you gonna do?

Maybe there is hope then. There was a 3rd on in downtown Toronto. Maybe its still there. I just bought DMC floss for 89 cents a skien at the local ma and pa store. I was positive it was cheaper at Lewiscraft.

Actually I asked at a Lewiscraft location yesterday and it sounds like they're going out of business completely. I think it said in the paper they thought they'd be able to save them by just closing ten stores, but the courts ordered them to sell off all their assets to pay off debts. It's kinda sad, there aren't a lot of craft stores within walking distance of my place.... and now the only one I had is gone

I haven't been to Kingsway recently, but I was told that most of the Edmonton stores (Bonnie Doon for sure) will be open until May 30. They're having an "up to 70% off" sale to get rid of what merchandise they have left. The store in City Centre has already closed up shop for good.
